NEWS: U.S. Senate advances bill to reopen the federal government in a 60-40 vote.

Dems who votes yes:
🔵 Catherine Cortez Masto
🔵 Dick Durbin
🔵 John Fetterman
🔵 Maggie Hassan
🔵 Tim Kaine
🔵 Angus King
🔵 Jackie Rosen
🔵 Jeanne Shaheen

Republicans who voted no:
🔴 Rand Paul

Angus King is an independent but he caucuses with the Dems. There’s a reason of them who voted yes are retiring. It’s likely a bunch more Dems wanted this but ones who face the least consequences fell on the sword. Root out who wanted this. It’s more than 8.

The American People: “Chuck Schumer, we have provided you with all the leverage you need to win this shutdown fight, once and for all.”

Chuck Schumer *flushing the leverage down the toilet*: “What?”

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

If Chuck Schumer’s leadership position is not challenged after this, the Democratic Party will lose the last shred of credibility it’s holding onto.

Same.

This.

a thread for screaming

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Please remember, we all have our small measures of power that we loan to our elected reps who govern on our behalf and in our best interest.

Senate Dems have shown they cannot be trusted with that power. They do not represent us, they represent billionaires. So we take our power back.

It’s crushing to me that Senate Democrats couldn’t hold out for SNAP rulings. It shows me that people losing their SNAP benefits was actually never really something that entered into their calculus on this.

I do think our next move is we insist every Senate Democrat get on the record demanding Schumer step down. We tell them that if they don’t, we will know they were in favor of this action tonight and they will face the power of grassroots primary organizing.

“WHISTLES sound the alarm against ICE” in the style of a Zohran for NYC yard sign

“WHISTLES for everyone” in the Zohran campaign font and colors

On some level, you have to admire Chuck Schumer’s deep commitment to absolutely nothing.

Police in Chicago arresting people on behalf of ICE. They are there to Protect & Serve their corporate overlords. The same ones who funded Trump and are now benefiting from his corruption and gutting our democracy.

Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.

We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.

I agree

This week, the US Senate and the two-party system have shown why they serve no purpose in a functional democracy.

The two party system is incompatible with democracy.

We must change our electoral system to restore democracy.

Thank you, @wyden.senate.gov

Trump: we have no inflation

Inflation has risen every month he’s been in office

Trump: Prices are going down

Prices are going up for everything

Trump: The economy is booming

For oligarchs only. Small businesses are hurting. Layoffs piling up

Trump can’t lie his way out of his mess this time.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Out Trump’s Blatant Lie on Inflation The MAGA representative is continuing her break with the Republican Party—and the president himself.

AOC said MTG is on a revenge tour for not being allowed to run for Senate. It could be the opposite, MTG might be trying to become more moderate because strategists convinced her she won’t win the Georgia Senate seat unless she moves to the middle. We won’t forget what you enabled, Vote her out!

Aspects of our political system which are currently failing and long overdue for reform:

- The two-party system
- The US Senate
- An all-powerful, stand-alone presidency
- A politicized Supreme Court with full veto power over Congress and the executive

This week:
•FAA orders ground stop at JFK & O’Hare due to staff shortages
•USA has now lost 1M jobs under Trump—most since 2003
•US Army told soldiers to go to German food banks
•History's longest Govt Shutdown persists
•House in session only 12 of last 105 days
•Trump blocks SNAP to 42M Americans

US Army removes food bank guidance for soldiers after Euronews report The US Army removed guidance directing soldiers to food banks during the government shutdown after Euronews reported it. Soldiers await mid-November pay.

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

It’s important to note this was a procedural action, not a ruling on the merits of the underlying case. Justice Jackson wasn’t siding with the Trump administration; she was making sure the legal process unfolded correctly and fairly.
